ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Rampage V Edition 10

Special ROG 10th-anniversary refresh of
world’s favourite rule-breaking motherboard delivers extreme gaming and overclocking
with epic aesthetics, audio and connectivity

 

Singapore
(2nd June, 2016) — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced
Rampage V Edition 10, a unique version of our flagship motherboard specially
made to celebrate ROG’s 10th anniversary — and engineered to let gamers and
overclockers break every limit. Rampage V Edition 10 has already broken three
world records and achieved 14 global first places in 2D and 3D benchmarks.

Based on the
Intel® X99 chipset for the new Intel Core™ i7 processors for socket LGA
2011-v3, Rampage V Edition 10 is set to establish new industry standards. ROG’s
latest powerhouse features many exciting new features, including the Aura RGB illumination
system — with five independently-controlled onboard LED areas, plus one 4-pin
RGB header for add-on RGB strips.

Rampage V Edition
10 is equipped with many exclusive technologies to aid extreme overclockers and
hardcore gamers. These include Extreme Engine Digi+ voltage-regulator module
(VRM) for the cleanest, smoothest power, second-generation ASUS T-Topology technology
for maxed-out DDR4 performance, and 5-Way Optimization for easy and stable
overclocking with one click, and Fan Xpert 4 for the ultimate cooling.

Rampage V
Edition 10 features multiple technologies to deliver the best gaming
experiences. The external SupremeFX Hi-Fi audio amplifier ensures flawless
audio, dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet and GameFirst combine forces for no-lag
networking, and all-new ASUS SafeSlot is the reinvented, reinforced PCI Express®
slot with insert-molding tech that adds strength to every build — protecting
gamers’ graphics-card investments. The new board introduces a patent-pending pre-mounted
I/O shield for style, easier construction and enhanced durability.

Rampage V
Edition 10 also accelerates every transfer with extensive connectivity onboard,
including U.2, M.2, USB 3.1, and 3×3 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

Demonstrating its unrivaled performance, ROG
Rampage V Edition 10 has set three world records (WR) and achieved 14 global
first places (GFP) in a series of exacting 2D and 3D benchmarks. ROG’s new
performance monster achieved the highest CPU frequency for an Intel Core i7-6950X
processor, with a frequency of 5726.84MHz. Detailed benchmark scores for all
categories are listed in the table below.

With 5-Way Optimization Rampage V Edition 10 sorts
all the complex settings with a click, for instant, highly-controllable
performance boosts. ROG’s exclusive technology dynamically optimises essential
aspects of the system based on real-time use, for superb CPU performance,
everyday energy savings, ultra-stable digital power, cool and quiet fans and
even networking and audio settings that are tailored for favorite apps.

With advanced fan and water-pump controls,
Rampage V Edition 10 is also geared up to deliver the ultimate performance —
all easily controlled by Fan Xpert 4. Via onboard thermal sensors and
hardware-level 4-pin/3-pin PWM/DC mode detection, Fan Xpert 4 ensures every fan
achieves the best balance of high cooling performance and low noise. Rampage V
Edition 10 includes a dedicated water-pump header on board for the best
water-cooling efficiency, and has support for high-amp fans of up to 3A —
offering supreme cooling flexibility for extreme-overclocking endeavors or
water-cooled builds. The Turbo Core App tuning panel puts a friendly face on
the process of tuning and boosting multiple hardware components, making it easy
for users to maximize gaming fun and overclocking efforts.

Rampage V Edition 10 includes Extreme Engine
Digi+, ROG’s revered digital-power controller. It comprises a custom-designed
PWM controller, PowIRstage® IR3555 MOSFETs from Infineon, MicroFine alloy
chokes, and 10K black-metallic capacitors to deliver the smoothest, most precise
core voltages.

Second-generation ASUS T-Topology takes DDR4
memory overclocking to new heights. A customized trace layout reduces crosstalk
and coupling noise to ensure time-aligned signal transfer for improved memory
stability and compatibility.

Rampage V Edition 10 includes the amazing Aura
lighting-control utility to manage the motherboard’s powerful built-in RGB LEDs
and any attached RGB strips. The Aura software affords the creative freedom of
nine different lighting schemes, and it enables the illumination effects to be synchronised
with the ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable gear.

With its built-in Aura RGB-strip header, Rampage
V Edition 10 allows style-conscious enthusiasts to forget the hassle of
external RGB controllers. To ensure the best compatibility, ROG has teamed up
with well-known RGB strip-makers and case manufacturers, including CableMod, IN
WIN, DEEPCOOL, NZXT, BitFenix, Phanteks — helping gamers to light up as easy as
RGB wherever they see the Aura Ready logo.

Rampage V Edition 10 also has a stainless-steel
I/O shield that slots in simply and adds strong protection. This pre-mounted IO
shield is more than merely functional: our patent-pending invention ramps up
Rampage V Edition 10’s aesthetic credentials, and makes PC DIY easier than
ever.

And along with beauty comes strength, in the
shape of SafeSlot — the PCIe® slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide
superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using
a new insert-molding process that integrates the slot with the fortifying metal
for an inherently stronger slot, SafeSlot is then firmly anchored to the
motherboard through additional solder points.

Rampage V Edition 10 comes with SupremeFX
Hi-Fi, a front-panel headphone amp that delivers sound exactly how the studio
intended — pure, unadulterated audio delivered straight to the listener’s ears.
The ESS® ES9018K2M digital-to-analog converter (DAC), dual Texas Instruments
LM4562 op-amps and TPA6120A2 headphone amp work in harmony to faithfully
reproduce every detail without distortion or jitter. The result is audiophile-grade
32-bit/386kHz and output of over 6VRMS to up to 600-ohm headphones.

SupremeFX Hi-Fi also has a Cirrus Logic
analog-to-digital convertor (ADC) for exceptional recording quality. And, for
more gaming victories, the stealthy Sonic Radar II overlay maps battlefield
sounds to help players pinpoint opponents and teammates at a glance.

Rampage V Edition 10 features the very latest
dual Intel Ethernet controllers (I219-V and I211-AT) for faster, smoother
gaming. Intel’s LAN has the serious double advantage of reducing CPU overhead
and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput, so there’s more processing
power available for games.

The new motherboard also allows gamers to unleash
the full power of multiple graphics cards for visuals that never stutter, and with
just the right amount of space between each card. Onboard switches enable
DIYers to selectively enable or disable cards, while a handy SLI®/CrossfireX™
switch prompts Rampage V Edition 10’s integrated Aura integrated LEDs to guide
the way when creating multi-GPU setups.

Rampage V edition 10 accelerates every
connection, starting with next-level 802.11ac Wi-Fi with a 3×3 dual-band
2.4/5GHz for transfer speeds of up to 1300Mbps. It also has the latest NVM
Express (NVMe) U.2 and M.2 connectors for compatibility with the latest storage
devices, plug-and-play ease and data-transfer speeds of up to 32Gbps.

With two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, and two
reversible USB 3.1 Type-C, Rampage V Edition 10 is completely
backward-compatible with existing USB devices, and offers the ultimate
convenience of Type-C any-way-up connectivity — and with ASUS-exclusive USB 3.1
Boost technology to accelerate USB 3.1 performance even further.

Rampage V Edition 10 is also stacked with SATA
sockets, with 10 onboard connectors to provide extensive storage-expansion
opportunities.

Availability and
pricing will be announced later.
